Lloyd Philips Group understands its responsibility to ensure temporary staff are safe from injury and risks to heath while at work. Lloyd Philips Group follows the following guidelines to reduce the risk of injury and disease to employees:

Gather Information about the Job

As employers Lloyd Philips Group needs to know the nature of plant, equipment, substances and materials which will be used by temporary/contract staff and the control mechanisms in place to minimise the risk to health and safety.

Gather information about the skills and competencies required to do the job.

In addition to gathering information regarding the job itself, Lloyd Philips Group will assess the skills, knowledge and experience the temporary/contract staff will need to possess in order to perform the tasks safely and competently.

Conduct a work site visit

The aim of a work site visit is to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, assess the risks to health and safety associated with work and the work environment and to negotiate arrangements to improve risk controls.

Selecting the right staff for the job

The selection of suitable temporary/contract staff for the job is the sole responsibility of Lloyd Philips Group. Matching staff to the job entails making a match between the requirements of the job and the capabilities of the employee.

Providing appropriate information, instruction and training

Prior to placement with a client, temporary/contract staff will be provided with written and verbal explanation of Lloyd Philips Group’s occupational health and safety policies and procedures, Lloyd Philips Group’s rehabilitation and compensation policy and procedures and details of the job.

Lloyd Philips Group has the responsibility of monitoring the health and safety of temporary/contact staff. The aim of monitoring is to ensure measures to protect employees are maintained and that there has been no fundamental changes to the workplace or the job that may put the health and safety of employees at risk.
